Catapults act as lighthouse projects
CGES will shape the future of energy in Switzerland. The country’s export industry is a showcase and reference point for global scaling. The goal is to achieve net zero via green energy carriers and CO2 capturing, as well as through diversifying energy sources and strengthening grid flexibility. The best options for seasonal energy storage are hydropower and chemical storage (P2X).
